Build A Niche Store Review

The first thing that attracted me to Build A Niche Store was the Automation. Pick your niche, set up your store, promote it, rinse and repeat. Working full time in a demanding job, I didn't have time to be constantly updating a web site, let alone a multitude of websites, yes, I said multitude. For a one-off fee, the software can be used to build as many eBay affiliate websites as you like, all on Auto-Pilot building a significant income.

The next point that met my criteria was the ease of set-up. I set up my first store and had it online in less than 2 hours. This was with no previous web site building experience. The next site was up in 20 minutes! Everything is documented in a step by step manual, just join the dots!

The forum is amazing with help available 24/7. It's like more like a club than a forum with helpful tips and users experiences with their stores. What actions brought results, what didn't. Any questions you may have, whether it be setting up or tweaking your store, monetizing your store, marketing and promotion, there is always someone there to address your questions. The cost of this program ($97) is worth all the information and advise that can be picked up on the forum alone.

Adam and Kelvin, the creators of Build A Niche Store, haven't rested on their laurels either. They are now on version 3.0, and are constantly coming up with new ideas and improvements for the software. And as it's a one-off fee, you will never be asked for another cent to use the script.

Version 3.0 now includes scripts for eBay in 15 different countries so not only can you target a niche in the country of your choice but you can target your niche in all the other countries as well. This gives you the option of building up to 15 different web sites, targeting 15 different countries, ALL IN THE SAME NICHE. And with over 60.000 eBay niches, as you can see, the possibilities are overwhelming!

As I said previously, I set up my first store in under 2 hours and in the first 2 weeks, it had brought in the princely sum of $11! Although a very small sum, it proved to me that Build A Niche Store worked and I was delighted. I now wanted to know everything there was to know so I spent hours trawling through the forum, soaking up all the information I could find. I discovered very quickly, that there was a problem with my site.

My niche was too broad, too general. So, thanks to the information available to me on the forum, I dug deeper into my niche and set up my second site. A month later, Build A Niche Store was bringing in $200 from those two sites.

I now have 12 sites up and running, some more successful than others, but the beauty of the system is , you can afford to experiment. All my stores target the US market (I live in Ireland!). My goal is to bring the number of stores up to twenty by the end of May, '08. I will then pick the 5 most successful sites and target them to all the other countries available. That's 90 sites by the end of 2008, all running on auto-pilot. I can't wait to set my 2009 targets!

Have I mentioned that BANS is so addictive! Once you've got your first site up and running, see it in your browser you begin to check your stats daily (sometimes 3 or 4 times daily but that's bordering on obsessive!), you find yourself checking your Commission Junction account first thing every morning and no matter where you are or what your doing, your mind is always looking around for ideas for new niches! (Maybe I am obsessive!) You will dig into your stats, wanting to know where a referral came from for a particular sale, if you are getting leads and sales more from one source than another, looking to tweak this method or improve a pitch to another market. Yes, it becomes addictive, very addictive!
But at least I'm admitting it and that's a positive step!

I decided to add a piece on getting your first Build A Niche Store campaign off the ground as quickly and as profitably as possible. You will have got to the stage where you have made the leap and purchased the script and you're in the process of researching your first niche. You will be trawling through the membership forums now available to you and be buzzing with excitement with all the information you have at your disposal and the help available at your fingertips.

Get Going! As I have said previously, my first campaign wasn't successful although it hasn't cost me anything and I do get cash from it now and then. To find a niche for your first campaign, concentrate on something you know really well, something you are passionate about, something you can write about and consider yourself something of an expert in.

Okay, have you got it? That's what I did but , I left it at that and set up my first site based on it. What I should have done was - Dug into the niche, as I said, my first niche was too general, it became successful when I dug into it and now I have 4 web sites alone related to my first general niche.

So that's all I wanted to add for the moment, DIG DEEP! And Enjoy the fun!

So you've found your passion, dug into it to find your niche and built your store. What now? Wait for the traffic to come and the moolah to roll in? Not exactly! Now you need to promote it.

You've set up your first store in relation to something that your passionate in and know plenty about. Set aside a couple of hours when you'll have no interruptions and nothing to disturb you. Take a mug of your favourite brew and start writing. Write down everything you know about your niche, your experience of it, ways to improve other's experience of it, facts opinions, history. It's your passion, once you start, the words will flow. Write everything down, you can edit it later. Whatever you can think of!

Once that's done, you need to divide up your composition into 10 categories and turn them into 10 articles of about 3-400 words.
Done? OK. For the next month, you will be taking one of those articles, refining it adding relevant keywords and submitting it to article directories such as Ezinearticles.com. Do this every 2-3 days until you have all 10 articles submitted.

Articles with good, informative content and relevant keywords won't be long getting indexed in the major search engines and diverting traffic to your Niche Site. Enjoy!
